Fruit and Vegetables (1 Viewer)

[Sheena]

I crave fruit. Especially in summer when it’s properly in season. I can just eat pounds and pounds of the stuff.

 

[Dark Carnival]

I've always loved vegetables. I find them much more satisfying than fruits, which are usually too watery.

Brussels Sprouts are major for me.

And of course olives. They're an unquestionable staple in our cuisine. They go with everything.

For something that essentially smells like FARTS, I'm SOOO willing to eat Brussels sprouts!

Oh yeah, of course olives, you can't call yourself Mediterranean and not live for olives and olive-related products!

 

[Dark Carnival]

My favourite fruit is not a very common one, and now it's hard to find good ones, but when it's good I could die. The translator says it's called custard apple for you.

NOT A FAN

My favourite fruit is without any doubt POMELO. It’s so meaty and delicious and its huge size suits my big apetite.

Because of pomelos I’ve now (finally) started getting into the other citrus fruits.

My problem with fruits in general though is that I want them to be sweet and juicy, I don’t like them to be sour.

 

[Soldi]

Spinach by far the BEST

 

[Sheena]

I can’t think I’ve ever had a pomelo

 

[RS]

Only vegetables I still refuse are all sorts of onions, leeks, chives and garlic.... and also sweet peas and sweet corn.

OH MY GOD! Imagine hating garlic!

 

[Sheena]

And scrambled eggs with cheese and fresh chives

 

[Sheena]

Corn on the cob is fucking amazing too

 

[Kate]

Garlic is one of the GREATEST THINGS EVER

You have to try it! They don’t taste much, but are meaty and delicious.... it’s like eating the citrus version of a rice cake

 

[Soldi]

Does @ZenGiraffe eat CORN ON THE @COB ??

You’re not selling it to me...

Eww, Jesus. Gross.

 

[RS]

OH MY GOD! Imagine hating garlic!

It gives me a soar throat. And I’d hate to smell of it.

Chives are some of the most evil things because unlike onions and leeks, it’s a hell trying to pick them out of your food...

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh and if we're talking HERBS, then CORIANDER is another one I've hated for SO LONG and now love love love!

 

[RS]

You’re not selling it to me...

It’s like eating a twink muscle butt. More protein, less flavour

 

[Indie]

Theres rarely a meal where I'm not putting onion and garlic in. I often overlook them as a favourite but they're really gold for me.

 

[Dark Carnival]

OH MY GOD! Imagine hating garlic!

I must admit for a Lebanese I'm not THAT into garlic and I'm kind of ashamed of that the thing is it can easily take over a whole dish if used in excess.

 

[Sheena]

Garlic bread!

 

[RS]

Garlic bread!

Yuck

 

[Kate]

Oh and if we're talking HERBS, then CORIANDER is another one I've hated for SO LONG and now love love love!

Oh INTERESTING. Cos we’re told it’s a genetic thing!

 

[Kate]

Garlic bread!

*dribble*

 

[Star]

I hate coriander with a passion! Onions, garlic and green chilli go into pretty much everything I cook.

 

[Sheena]

Yuck

Sometimes I question the fact that it is our destiny to spend our lives together in sexual harmony.

Obviously they’re necessary evil, but it’s awful when they’re raw or when their taste dominates the meal

 

[Sheena]

I love coriander. But fresh basil is where it’s at for me. It’s the taste of summer.

 

[big ron]

Aubergines I have never got on board with.

Ant tips on getting GOOD tomatoes in the UK?

Grow them, I did a few plants last year and they were amazing.

 

[Sheena]

I would love to grow my own fruit and veg but living in a flat with a balcony, I’m limited to herbs. I have put down for an allotment, though, and hopefully will get one in the next 18 months or so...

We could never have sex after garlic bread.

In fact I’d rather not eat at all a day before sex (and I’m not even talking about anal).

 

[big ron]

Sainsbury’s do cherry tomatoes in a TIN which are delicious actually. They’re my go to for pasta sauces.

AMAZING for making your own pizza sauce with the extra sweetness.

I once grew potatoes in a potato sack a friend bought me as a Christmas present. I did everything by the book, was so excited, spent a fortune on compost and then ended up with SIX FUCKING POTATOES. Never bothering with that again.

 

[Star]

I tried Asian pear for the first time a few years ago, they were proper yummy. I've not seen them around recently though.

Yeah, but I wouldn’t have garlic bread if I was about to fuck someone who didn’t. I’m not a complete DISGRACE.

Strawberries with fresh basil is the summer for me

 

[RS]

Love coriander...the herb I don’t like is that one that tastes like licorice..what was it again?

I also love strawberries with ground black pepper. Brings the flavour out amazingly!

Tarragon?

Has mango not been mentioned yet? A chilled and perfectly ripe mango is divine. As are strawberries when they're in season, sweet like candy. And watermelon juice is amazing, I could drink buckets of it. Bananas are the best though, so handy to bring in a bag, fantastic with peanut butter on toast and comforting in porridge. I eat at least one a day.

I love veg as well, I often enjoy sweet potatoes, roast broccoli or kale and edamame more than the meat or fish we have them with. And carrots or mushrooms in a miso glaze are wonderful. And I could eat petit pois every day.

I hate most beans though, especially kidney beans after getting sick from them as a child...
